casket of old days

Chapter 825 Old Brothers and the Future of the World
Night City, inside Sala Palace.

The palace that Jiaojiao had restored was not only large in scale and leaning on the sky, but also the interior decoration was magnificent and extremely luxurious.

However, since Chu Qiguang took over, all the flashy things have been cleaned up and exchanged for funds.

Then a small part of the palace was designated by Chu Qiguang as his office and training place.

Most of the remaining space was designated by him as the headquarters of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, in a meeting room of the Sala Palace, two old acquaintances, Wang Cailiang and Chen Gang, were planning to report to him the latest situation in Night City.

Today, Wang Cailiang has become the treasurer of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce.

Nearly [-] years old, with the help of the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Method, a large number of elixir and physical transformation, he still maintains his physical peak state. Even in recent years, his martial arts has also improved, and he has entered the stage of the fourth realm.

But compared to Wang Cailiang's current status in the Chamber of Commerce, his martial arts cultivation is nothing.

As the treasurer of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, all the income and expenses of the Chamber of Commerce have to go through him. Coupled with his relationship with Chu Qiguang's fellow countryman and old friend, he has become the target of countless people inside and outside the Chamber of Commerce.

Now the Wang family has all moved from Lingzhou to Shuzhou, and has gradually become the upstart of Shuzhou.

"Brother Dog!" Chen Gang ran to Chu Qiguang's side: "The scale of Night City is expanding every day, and there are more and more people and monsters. Sometimes the newly built roads are not even known to me, the chief of the Public Security Bureau. Every day is really busy.”

Chen Gang has been the head of the Security Bureau of Night City for the past two years, and his martial arts realm has now broken through to the fifth realm.

He sighed: "Sometimes I still miss the days when I was with you. Every day, I will do whatever you tell me to do. I don't have to worry about anything, just keep moving forward."

"Brother Dog, come to my house for a meal sometime. My barbecue level has improved recently, and it tastes good with the new artificial meat made in the workshop."

"Artificial meat is developed for emergencies in future wars. What's delicious?"

Chu Qiguang pressed his hands and said, "Okay, I'm still so frizzy after so long, please sit down first."

He sniffed his nose, frowned and said, "Did you not brush your teeth properly?"

"The new self-growing toothbrush recently launched in the workshop, did I say that leading cadres should take the lead in using it?"

"The way to practice martial arts lies in the maintenance of the physical body, and oral hygiene has a profound impact on physical and mental health."

"The best way for warriors who haven't entered the Tao to maintain oral hygiene is to brush their teeth."

"The toothbrush developed by the workshop is easy to use and cheap. Promoting the toothbrush is as important as the national policy. Don't take the lead and slack off."

Chen Gang heard it again and again.

Wang Cailiang glanced at Chen Gang who was on the side, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Chen Gang is currently the only old man who still dares to call Chu Qiguang "Brother Dog" in private, and the other party often uses this to show off his relationship with Chu Qiguang.

Although Wang Cailiang's position and power are higher than Chen Gang's, he often has to envy Chen Gang and Chu Qiguang's closeness.

At the same time, he also remembered the days when he and Chu Qiguang were in Qingyang County. At that time, he even showed off his toothbrush and tooth boy to each other. How could he have thought that Chu Qiguang now wants to make everyone in the world brush their teeth? .

After the three sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Wang Cailiang began to report the latest situation.

I just heard him say: "Tianxia Tongxing's business has now expanded to the entire Shuzhou, but the places that can handle Qi and blood business are still concentrated in Night City, which reduces the utilization efficiency of Qi and blood power."

"However, more than half of the cement roads running through the major prefectures and counties of Shuzhou in the Buddhist world have been built. Now more and more people are traveling directly through the Buddhist world in various parts of Shuzhou, and the transportation efficiency has been greatly improved."

"This month, the revenue of the Chamber of Commerce and the number of people who have opened accounts in the world have increased rapidly..."

"By the way, the salt, tea, grain, bone tools, and cotton cloth produced in Shuzhou are selling very well in the southeast."

"Under our low price dumping, no one in the southeast can lower the price than us. It only takes one or two years to occupy the entire southeast market..."

While talking, Wang Cailiang looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him.

Although he has always been known as the big steward and money bag of the chamber of commerce, he knows that Chu Qiguang is the one who really understands the flow of funds and the operation of the entire chamber of commerce.

Whether it is Shuzhou, Southeast, Lingzhou, or even the grasslands, every amount of money and blood coming in and out cannot escape Chu Qiguang's eyes.

Wang Cailiang was amazed by the other party's ability to operate funds and energy, reduce costs, and squeeze profits.

If the entire chamber of commerce is a human body, then in Wang Cailiang's eyes, Chu Qiguang is like a brain with an extremely high level of martial arts, which can most precisely adjust all the power in this human body, and explode ten times, a hundred times the effect.

It is precisely because he clearly understands how powerful Chu Qiguang is that he suppressed the greed in his heart several times and was not caught by the people from the cat factory and the dog factory.

And like Ning Chigong, the deputy hundred householder of Bafu, although he followed Chu Qiguang very early, but because of his personal pockets, he has been arrested by Maochang to build roads.

Wang Cailiang finally said: "Have you read the new project application of the engineering team? Build a Buddhist highway from Shuzhou to Donghai Prefecture."

Chu Qiguang nodded when he heard the words, and said: "You should approve it, but Xuechi will expand its production capacity recently, and you can lower the cost of road construction."

Hearing this, Wang Cailiang couldn't help but look bitter: "Is there still pressure? Now the masters of the engineering team have not rested for more than a year, and their wages have been in arrears. How can this be pressured?"

"Is it necessary to delay the wages of ordinary workers?"

Chu Qiguang looked at the list of masters in the engineering team, including Ji Yuan, Prince Daxia, Zen Master Tianwu, and Chilong King.

Originally there was Duan Xuyan from the Sacred Fire Sect, who performed well in the southeast, but in order to unite the Sacred Fire Sect, he was let go by Chu Qiguang.

It's a pity to think of Chu Qiguang here. After all, according to Duan Xuyan's performance in the engineering team, he is very good at blasting mountains.

"The wages of ordinary workers cannot be in arrears." Looking at the list of these masters, Chu Qiguang thought for a while and said:

"We still have to adhere to the policy that the stronger the strength, the higher the debt, and no matter how hard we are, we should bear more burdens."

As he said that, Chu Qiguang took out a plan: "This is the bond I plan to issue next, and I can bet on my name as Chu debt."

"In the future, the masters of the engineering team can issue Chu debts to them as salary."

"Although the time to get it is a bit late, the interest is absolutely fair, and they have made a lot of money."

"Hey, the next war is coming. Not only will business be difficult, but the situation will also be more difficult. We must gather more forces to prepare for the war."

"To create more weapons, more vitality machines, and more masters, all of these require more silver and more vitality."

"You also need to prepare in advance."

Chen Gang on the side heard the words and said, "Brother Dog, you really worry about the safety of the people and the future of the human race."

"Now I'm not only willing to gamble my own reputation, but I'm also willing to give everyone a profit."

Chu Qiguang waved his hand and said: "Before the safety of the people in the world, it doesn't matter if I lose a little."

"Here is another piece of news for you. If you still have idle money in your hands, you should buy more shares in Shuzhou Workshop."

"You two can be regarded as my old brothers, and this can be regarded as a benefit for you."

When Wang Cailiang and Chen Gang heard the words, their hearts moved, and they all silently recorded it.

Then Chu Qiguang looked at Chen Gang who was on the side: "The expansion of Night City is still going on, and in the future, the business of the chamber of commerce will grow bigger and bigger, and the population of the city will continue to grow. You must ensure the security of the whole city. "

"Nowadays, there are many masters in the world. Although the magic dye is growing and the emergence of masters, according to my estimation, as long as they can resist the erosion of magic dye, the breakthrough may be easier than in the past."

"You also strive to break through to Martial God as soon as possible. With the support of the Chamber of Commerce, the conditions for your breakthrough are definitely the best in the world."

"The chamber of commerce in the future will only leave good brothers who keep improving."

"Those who refuse to learn and make progress are not my good brothers, Chu Qiguang."

"When the time comes to abdicate to the virtuous, don't blame me for not remembering the old love."

Although Chen Gang felt a lot of pressure, he still patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Dog, I will practice hard and I won't embarrass you."

Chu Qiguang nodded. In the original history, Chen Gang already had the aptitude to break through to the fifth level, but was killed by Huang Daoxu later.

Now with his support, coupled with the aptitude shown by Chen Gang, and the current changes in the environment, maybe it is really possible to break through to become a Martial God.

If he can't break through to become a Martial God, then Chu Qiguang can only replace the director of the Night City Public Security Bureau.

Although he was very reluctant, the future era is doomed to produce a large number of masters. If the head of the Security Bureau of Night City does not even have the cultivation level of a Martial God, he will be difficult to convince the public, and he will not even be able to start his work.

Next, Chen Gang began to report on the security situation in Night City.

"With Miss Jiaojiao's monitoring assistance, the current detection rate of our Public Security Bureau in Night City has increased to more than [-]%, and as long as the identified criminals are identified, none of them slipped through the net..."

Chen Gang first talked about the good situation, and then talked about the troublesome place:
"The most troublesome thing at present is the sudden incident of the warrior becoming a demon, and the conflict between the monsters in the city."

"Especially the conflict between transvestites, conflicts between transvestites break out almost every day..."

Hearing Chen Gang's words, Chu Qiguang's brows gradually frowned.

The conflict between humans and monsters in the Central Plains has been entangled for tens of thousands of years, and the enmity between the two races is far from being resolved with just a few words and slogans.

Especially from living habits, customs of various ethnic groups, and then to ethnic culture, all are fuses.

In addition, the human race in the Central Plains is generally higher than the monster race in terms of strength, status, and number, which makes the human race inherently discriminate against the monster race.

And when Night City, a city where humans and monsters live together, appears, the conflict between the two races will intensify, like a powder keg, which can only be barely maintained by Chu Qiguang's strong suppression.

If he was given more time, Chu Qiguang would still be able to find a way to solve it slowly. It would take dozens or hundreds of years to melt all races into one furnace.

But now is the time for him. Chu Qiguang can imagine that once the war with the monster race outside the territory breaks out in the future, the racial conflicts in Night City will also break out.

And even for Chu Qiguang, there is currently no one-size-fits-all solution that can completely solve this problem.

In the next few days, Chu Qiguang worked and practiced in the Sala Palace.

This day, Jade Girl said to Chu Qiguang: "According to the plan, Huang Daoxu, the leader of Tianshijiao, will arrive in Night City tomorrow, and the relevant reception work has been prepared."

"Jiang Longyu's promotion of Tongtian Treasure banknotes was suspected to be discovered by Emperor Yong'an, and he is currently under house arrest. All Tongtian Treasure banknotes have been confiscated and banned. The blood market in the capital has been seriously affected."

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "Oh, I told him not to be so high-profile, it seems that it's time to go to the capital."

Jinnu continued: "Buddha Bubai has collected a new orthodox Dharma inheritance, which is the Tongsheng Zhengdharma "Dharma Realm Samadhi Zen View" of the Fanjing School of Buddhism."

"Nine Sides has completed the first round of disarmament. All the old, weak, sick and disabled have been cut off. Next, a new army that uses blood machines will be reorganized."

"The food we provided to support the grassland has been delivered, and the local food shortage has been temporarily resolved, but the Fushouzhang market is almost saturated..."

……

The next day, Huang Daoxu, the leader of Tianshijiao, and his party arrived in Shuzhou.

Chu Qiguang, the town demon envoy, met with Huang Daoxu and discussed with him the future anti-demon affairs.

Faced with the concerns of the Tianshijiao, the Chu town envoy responded positively and expressed his firm attitude towards fighting against the monster races outside the territory.

The leader of Huang Daoxu expressed his high appreciation for Chu Qiguang's outstanding leadership ability in personally commanding and deploying the overall situation of fighting against demons.

Chu Qiguang said that Tianshijiao played an important role in coordinating the affairs of the people of the Central Plains to fight against foreign monsters. The cooperation between Zhenmasi, Bashu Chamber of Commerce and Tianshijiao over the years has been fruitful.

The meeting between the two aroused the attention of many parties. Chu Qiguang also took Huang Daoxu to visit the booming Jinrong City, and bought the latest bone tools in the store as a gift to the other party.

Huang Daoxu praised the bone tools and swords, and said that he would consider them in Tianshijiao's future weapon purchases.

So the weapon stocks related to Shuzhou skyrocketed that day.

After the dinner that night, under the secret invitation of Chu Qiguang, Huang Daoxu came to the night city of the Buddhist world.

When he saw that Qianguang was showing its vitality under the ostentation, and Night City, which was ten times more prosperous than Jinrong Mansion, he couldn't help showing a little bit of surprise in his eyes.

Then he and Chu Qiguang walked on the streets of Night City. When he saw the monsters that appeared on the streets from time to time, the surprise in Huang Daoxu's eyes became more intense.

He shook his head and looked at Chu Qiguang coldly: "Humans and monsters are mixed together, you are playing with fire."

Chu Qiguang looked directly at Huang Daoxu, and said, "If it's an ordinary believer, I wouldn't let him see these things. But you are the leader of Tianshijiao."

Huang Daoxu frowned slightly: "So?"

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and said: "People with firm beliefs are too upright and don't know how to adapt, so they can't be in your position."

"In your position, the first thing you need to consider is the interests of Tianshijiao, and the second is Daoist's belief."

Huang Daoxu snorted, and said, "Could it be that people and monsters live together, and what benefits can it bring to Tianshijiao?"

Chu Qiguang turned around and said, "Then follow me to see the future of this world."
